What originally started as a way to share my wedding planning with friends back home has now morphed into wedding planning + travel diary as I wander merrily about England. Welcome!

wedding progress, and haggis

I’ve not been updating often, which is the sign of a busy life! Now that term has started again all our regular activities have resumed, along with some other things.

We went to our first Robbie Burns Dinner the other day, and had our first taste of haggis. I actually liked it, in the “this is something I’d eat once a year” sort of way. It helped that every course had whiskey with it in some manner.

On the wedding front things have been shooting along. Save the Dates have gone out to a few people, although the majority of them won’t be sent out until I finally get all the addresses in. But as things are now official, I can finally announce that David and I will be getting married on August 7th, 2010, at 11:30 in the morning. I am so excited!

In a week or two I hope to order the fabric for our flowers. I’m waiting on an official quote for our favours, but those should be in process soon (and are top secret, so ha!)... We sent the deposit off to our photographer, we’re thinking about rings, and mum’s been working on her menu and food plans. I’m sure I have way too much DIY stuff to do, especially right now as my social calendar keeps me out at least three nights a week, if not more, but that’s alright. It’s still January.

About Me

Life is full of surprises, and in April 2009 David received a Cambridge International Scholarship, allowing him to realize his dream of getting his PhD from Cambridge. So, with our MAs from the University of Toronto’s Centre for Medieval Studies completed, we took flight for the old world. This is our life--planning a wedding and playing tourist while working and studying abroad.
